THE OFFICIAL MK11 COMPLAINT/RANT THREAD

[versavices]

One of Kung Laos variations spends all 3 points into the Orbital Hat. It costs 1 defensive bar and 1 offensive bar to leave you at -7 or give you a pop up on 1-2 strings that could already pop up with one bar from his Spin AMP. You can also use this move again to spin a second hat, leaving you at the same disadvantage but giving you a small amount of combo damage.

Unless I’m missing something this is dumbfounding that he was released this way. Seems like they literally put no effort into his variations. If their plan is to release a 3rd variation 2 months from now, they are going to have some issues.

Please netherrealm, make the ability slot limit 4-5 instead of 3 and give us custom variations. Or at least give every character one of these custom abilities baseline. I don’t want the character exploration to feel super shallow on an otherwise extremely well made and well rounded game.

 

[Kiss the Missile]

The fact that AI battle is back and they put so much effort into it, when the reason they keep saying they wont bring Tag back is because "nobody played it"

Am I really supposed to believe that more people sat in that boring ass mode and watched the computer fight than tagged it up with their buddies

 

[ZeroSymbolic]

The only complaint that I have is that you have to manually create the tournament load-outs in order to practice with them. Why on earth they didn't make the "balanced" tournament layouts the defaults so everybody easily had them is beyond me. Like, GIGANTIC oversight.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

I wanted to make a thread, but I don't know how heavily or not it's been touched upon yet: the Character Tutorials are an absolute trip to kindergarten.

Maybe this was another thing that can added to the "rushed to a painful degree to make release on time" category...and seeing how thorough and precise the initial six lessons are makes me wonder if the roster all had their own MKDA-ish lessons of their own that got from the launch. I can only hope this is the case and we'll get something similar later, but these are NOT tutorials. Punching in a few normals and specials just to get a free skin at the end of it feels like Ms. Puff letting Spongebob get his license on extra credit. When I learn a character, I want to LEARN a character. Take me through the normals and the strings and all that good stuff. It's not like you guys don't know how.

Ugh.

 

[HBK3234]

My current main gripe with the game as a PC player is that the game isn't even updated like other platforms are, the whole platform is basically treated as the unwanted child in the family and it's really frustrating. We haven't even gotten any news on many of the ports problems until today, and it basically told us to just report that stuff to support team. The lack of communication between the userbase and developers/guys who ported it is astounding and I'm starting to feel like we will never get any updates for this game or at least we won't get any until they drop a new DLC or a Kombat Pack. It's still pretty early to say though, I might just be overexaggerating and impatient but hearing no updates on the situation of the port is extremely frustrating, and reminds me a lot of the MKX launch which is never a good thing.

Anyone else keep getting disconnected from the server randomly? I'm trying to play ranked and I keep getting disconnected.

[Kitana Fan]

The female's costumes in this game scream, "we're terrified of the political climate!"

That is the antithesis of what Mortal Kombat should be. It's the last franchise on earth that should be worried about offending people. The game used to be an escape from all the bullshit hypocrisy and whining that plagues media, but now it just reminds me of it... and that makes the game significantly less enjoyable. This isn't the Mortal Kombat I know.

That and the low roster number (for 2019) are my main complaints about the game. Seriously, other than those issues, I love the game.

But yeah, I think NRS is well aware of the backlash over that from fans. Look at Kano's ending. I'm holding onto the hope that we'll have DLC outfits that show a bit more skin.

I've had a bit of....trouble, regarding Kronika in story mode. I finally beat her, and I just need to let off some steam....

I think 3 slots perfect, the characters just need maybe one more move added to thier base versions. Also, if the slot cost to too high, or low, they can raise or lower it to keep things balanced.

I just know that until I can use my custom variations in ranked, I'm running only player matches until the end of time. I bought mk11 not only because I love the franchise, but because this game said it would allow me the ability to use MY version of a character that fits MY playstyle...not the version that a developer THINKS fits me.

This is so fucking dumb.

I think the female costumes in this game have looked better than they ever have before.

I would much rather have a cool ass costume than be thirsting over a ridiculous costume that shows off fake, digital boobs. It makes sense for the characters to have armor and actual outfits, it makes zero sense for Sonya Blade to have a DDDD chest that’s always out as a damn military officer. And don’t start this “That’s not the MK I know” bullshit because MK didn’t START like that. lol did you even SEE Sonya’s MK 1 costume?

Tl;dr Upset about no titties? Tough.

Porn exists, and it’s got fewer microtransactions than MK 11 So make your choice, really

To be honest, I find her easier than Shao Kahn in MK9 and Shinnok in MKX.

This is so fucking dumb.

Most of the men have armorless outfits. Why can't the women? You can make the case for a revealing outfit not fitting Sonya, but what about the female ninjas? They've always worn leotard-like outfits, since MK2, and it makes sense for them, to allow flexibility. The leotards have gotten more and more revealing over the years, but hey, it's a series aimed towards men, so I don't see the problem. There's nothing wrong with a little eye candy in the game. And we're talking about a game that has multiple outfits to choose from. Why not include revealing outfits as unlockables?

Enough with the "porn" argument too. Revealing outfits and porn are two different things. If someone wants to get off from a revealing outfit instead porn, just let them.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

Unless I'm missing something, I can't use my stick because of the assists etc. in the towers using the right stick. This seems like a really stupid oversight. It's a fighting game, it needs to work well on a stick. I've tried playing on pad but some of the inputs seem really pad unfriendly, d,b,f inputs for example.

Also, why the hell are the variations missing moves contained in the move presets. These presets are what matter for ranked, not the variation itself, right?

 

[Matador Fiend]

There are tons of skins, but most of them are ass

Sjw costumes on female chars

Game is clunky and slow

Way too many things punishable instead of being disadvantage on block

Few or any chars have stagger pressure

Tournament variations only use a fraction of the characters programmed moveset

Incredibly weak story mode

Fatals are lame as fuck and remove skill from the matches

Why the fuck does orbital hat cost a bar of defensive and offensive meter (not even amplified) yet leave Lao -7 lmfao and do low damage

Gaps in any string that is neutral or slightly positive on block

Jax sucks in terms of coolness compared to mkx jax

Rhonda rousey should stick to dodging opponents that can beat her and shit talking and stay out of VA

I do like things about this game, its just not as good as mkx in alot of ways imo

You are in no position to call anything dumb. I mean, everything you say is based on the most idiotic ideology. I could write a novel on why people like you are aggravatingly stupid. Anything you don't like, such sexuality is "dumb" and "ridiculous". Well guess what!? MORTAL KOMBAT IS RIDICULOUS! And that's what makes it wonderful. You think covering the female characters' skin suddenly makes the game realistic and believable? Are you seriously that fucking stupid? You're playing a game where characters are impaled through the face only to get up and continue fighting.

Not a single character is wearing anything that would even remotely protect against the abuse that gets doled on in the MK universe. It makes just as much sense for these characters to fight completely nude as to wear anything in this universe.

And seriously, where is the line between gratuitous sexuality and gratuitous gore that makes one acceptable and the other "ridiculous"? Mortal Kombat had been steadily ramping up its sexuality right alongside its gore until MKX. It's part of the brand, whether you like it or not. And it was so much better for it. I love that idiotic argument, "go watch porn." I don't want sexy outfits to jack off to, you twat. I want them because they add to the over the top atmosphere of Mortal Kombat, that doesn't give a fuck about what offends whiners like yourself.

I like how you deem the mundane and colorless costumes in MK "cool". They're boring as shit and reek of conformity. Mortal Kombat should be as ridiculous and carefree as it was in MK9. Bring back the babalities, friendships, colorful costumes and stop listening to you tasteless, boring tools who just want "Call of Duty: The Fighting Game."

 

[Syd Barrett Lives]

I'm really conflicted about this game because I'm loving some of it and hating the rest...Anyway here's what I hate:

• story plot is a mess
• not using the tournament variations as the default is a choice I can't honestly understand
• as expected, kustom variations is maybe a good idea on paper but a mess in pratice. Especially considering you can't use them in ranked and the preset variations are ass.
• locking all customization behind RNG mechanics and insane grinds is a slap in the face to fans, expecially those that mostly play online.
• no secrets and interesting stuff whatsoever is disappointing.

Sounds like you need to get laid.
And you wanna know why they’ll cross the line for gore and not nudity? Because the game didn’t begin as a fucking sex game. It began as a gory fighting game. That’s why. It was getting over the top sexual but guess what? The developers didn’t like that so they changed that after MKX. NRS made two whole MK games where the female characters showed everything and one game they are slightly covered and y’all are tripping. Grow the hell up and get on Tinder or something because you need some real breasts in your life if you’re whining about mk characters having none. I’m sick and tired of this shit ass community bitching about outfits, goodness. It’s a video game. If their outfits piss you off so much go play MK9 or Tekken and make them half as naked as you please, the community doesn’t need people like you whining to NRS because you can’t see some digital titties.

You are as generic and boring as the costumes in this game.

Here's an idea. If you don't want to hear about people discussing sexualization in a game, then don't fucking invest in a franchise that has been doing it for the vast majority of its existence.

Sorry dude but you have to get over it. Their game, their outfits. They don’t want extremely sexual outfits on the women in their game then that’s the decision they made. I also find it hilarious that y’all whine about this yet most of the characters that are “covered up” were never showing much to begin with. Sonya,Cassie, and I believe Jacqui are military themed fighters so I would assume they wouldn’t show a lot. Frost is a cyborg, Kitana and Jade have usually showed little, Cetrion is a goddess or something and Dvorah is a bug themed woman for the love of God. I’m not sure what y’all want these ladies to dress like but whatever it is I’m sure someone online made a drawing of it. It won’t be in MK, and that’s that.

 

[Baconlord]

The tournament variations are so poorly put together its jarring. Cetrion has an empty slot in both of her variations?

No she doesn't lol

 

[Vescend]

You know. If pc could get the release patch instead of the beta patch that would be great.

Here you go again attempting to apply real world logic to one of the most unreal franchises to ever exist.
Jade and Kitana have shown more skin in every single appearance they've had than in this game. But that's not even the point. The point is, and this is the last time I'm going to attempt to hammer this into your skull, that Mortal Kombat is a game that never took itself overly serious and wasn't afraid to battle controversies and the political climate. I look to this series, more than any other, to escape from the stranglehold that extremists have on media. I'm sick to death of people making bigger deals over the sexualization of fictional characters than real world issues like children being held in cages.
This over-sensitivity to fictional media is at an all-time high, and it is exasperating. The costume design in this game is a product of our modern political zeitgeist and only serves as a reminder of all the frustration I feel from it.
Mortal Kombat used to be cathartic in its absolute absurdity. Now it's clearly falling victim to that stranglehold, and it's fucking depressing.
